Try The Guided Fate Paradox. It's technically a disgaea game and has cute girls drawn by Noizi Ito (also you can give them shotguns)

I wish I could give etna a minigun and not just a shitty handgun

I want to play the Disgæa games, but there's something I'm unsure about. Since these games are known for their extensive grinding and huge level caps, will I be "missing" something if I just beat the main story and move on with the game without doing any crazy grinding, or not?

You won't beat the main story without doing any crazy grinding, the same way you're not going to beat a beat-em-up without beating 'em up, or a shooter without shooting. If you want isometric strategy without the grind, there's Fire Emblem, FFTactics, XCOM and lots of standalones (Phantom Brave, Joan of Arc, Wild Arms XF, Tactics Ogre etc), but Disgaea is grind at it's core.
Honestly, they're best played as handheld titles. Emulate them on something portable and just chew on them quick whenever you've got time / a break between other things (weird to think that concept's a relic of a bygone era these days). Binging will burn you out fast and hard once you start hitting walls, but chewing slowly (grind during the week, progress at the weekend) will keep the temperature just right.

>You won't beat the main story without doing any crazy grinding
I see, I don't mind that, I just had the misconception that most of the grinding is optional post-game stuff. And I did intend to likely play it portably though I hope I won't get weird looks from strangers.

Don't worry, Etona's positively sexerotic sprite is only shown on story-mode's cutscenes.

>>300882
>spoiler
Privacy screen protectors exist if you care that much bro, but it's mostly just cutscene only if that.

Just do some optional side stuff from time to time and your level will stay appropriate for the main story.
Said optional stuff being sub stories or an item world run or 2.
Only 1 and 2 suffer somewhat from this. I went through 3's main campaign fine without grinding jack shit.
Also you're playing some nippon echi title, of course you're gonna get weird look from normalfags if you play it outside.

If you're just in it for the story you only need to get around level 80-100 to beat the story chapters and that's just 10% of the level cap. The insane grind is completely optional. Item worlding is just the most mundane and 'straightforward' way to make your characters OP but later entries de-emphasize it. From D2 onwards with the 'cheat' shop(not really cheating at all, but necesarry, it's essentially sliders for what you want from defeating enemies) the grind gets a QOL boost. 

IMHO the series peaked at 5 and went downhill since.

>There really should be a whole genre of games where the objective is to collect and train as many cute girls as you can, then use them to steamroll through the main story.
Isn't there a Pokemon romhack that's exactly this?

>>300899
Pokemon combat is so unfun it's not worth it

Curious about how many people actually played Prinny CIRBTH?
Been years since I played those but I remember them being both decently fun.
Also is 4/5 actually as good as people say it is?

Why do the Disgaea games constantly insist on having topless fujobait dudes as the main characters when the most iconic and loved characters from the series are its girls?

>>301085
because the main demographic of players are young men, who overwhelmingly self-insert as young men.
r e t a r d.

>>301098
But they didn't have to give them topless fujobait designs. A fujobait design is more distracting than anything, if the goal is self-insertion.

>>301110
>fujobait
You don't know what fujobait is if those are your standards for it

>>301114
1st one's passable but low-waist spandex pants in runny makeup and heart barechest shota with his zipper undone aren't positively manly designs.

>>301114
You would know all about that, fellow BL fan.

>>301085
Fuji is cool as fuck but Kilia and Zed and absolutely shit tier

normalize shota MCs so i can self insert into scenes like this more often

>>301085
idc what the feminists say, i will NOT put on a shirt
>>301098
sometimes i also like self inserting as old men (im grumpy)
>>301110
>they didn't have to give them topless fujobait designs
and they also didnt have to give the girls obscenely delicious tummies
but nippon ecchi software is just based like that
>>301116
yea... looks like the jojo MC timeline to me

What's the problem? It's a pretty funny webm, so it deserves to be posted.

>>301023
I played the first one some years back. Got all the way to the final boss, but I couldn't button mash fast enough to win the fight, so I gave up.
